- Travel within 1 hour in the Seoul metropolitan area enabled by KTX-Ieum opening... Incorporated into half-day living zone
- Transportation benefits continue with Jecheon-Goesan and Jecheon-Samcheok highways, and Jungang Line double-track electrification project

Located at the heart of South Korea, Jecheon City, a key transportation hub connecting the metropolitan area and provinces, is once again attracting attention in the real estate market. This is because the railway and road networks are expected to be significantly expanded in the future, increasing the potential for Jecheon to become a central hub for transportation and logistics.


Currently, Jecheon’s transportation conditions are favorable. Access to the Jungang Expressway is convenient via Jecheon IC, and the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway (Namjecheon IC) is also accessible. In particular, the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway, which connects the east-west axis, is a golden route that links to the Jungbu Inland Expressway, Jungbu Expressway, Gyeongbu Expressway, and Seohaean Expressway. Moreover, with the opening of the next-generation high-speed train KTX-Eum last year, travel time from Jecheon Station to Cheongnyangni Station (Seoul) has been reduced to about an hour. Essentially, the metropolitan area has become accessible within a half-day living zone.


Since Jecheon City in Chungbuk is located in the center of South Korea, the transportation network is expected to be further systematized. President Yoon, during his election campaign, pledged the construction of the ‘Jecheon-Goesan Central Inland Expressway,’ and a preliminary feasibility study is currently underway. Once this road opens, the connection between the Jungang Expressway and the Jungbu Inland Expressway will become even smoother.


The East-West 6-axis Jecheon-Samcheok Expressway project is also underway. In January, the remaining section of the Jecheon-Samcheok East-West Expressway construction project, the Yeongwol-Samcheok section, was confirmed as a priority project in the government’s 2nd Expressway Construction Plan. The Jecheon-Yeongwol section passed the government’s preliminary feasibility study in 2020, and the project is confirmed for implementation.


The railway will also be expanded. Once the last section of the Jungang Line double-track electrification project, the Andong-Yeongcheon section (scheduled for completion in 2024), is finished, travel time to Busan Bujeon Station is expected to be significantly reduced.
